Question Switchback Led's

I just got a pair of1157 switch back led's from autolumination and it looks like it wont fit into my 08 TL-S. Did i order the wrong size bulb? If someone can help me clearify that would be much appreciated.

Thanks !

Go to the definative led thread or hit up Kennedy he knows all about them. You may have to dremmil a little or order the Tower III those are the ones that I have and they fit right in. I have an 05 don't know if that really matters or not.

Jack up car an pull wheel so you have some room.

magnet on a stick or gum on a stick...

Seriously.

and use a little electrical tape around the bulb base and the socket to prevent this in the futuure
